Why Has It Taken This Long To Complain About What Would Be To Others Just A Humorous Jibe?

Had it been a white family returning from Nigeria and someone made a jibe about the fear of them bringing over the ebola virus with them, would there be a reason for complaint?

Why are you so obsessive about race and colour?

[Mamyalynne]

She was asked that question on the late News last night - I can't quote it verbatim.

Should be simple enough to find.

[Celtigra3]

Perhaps it's something to do with being a Daily Mail reader

[Peakwalker]

I wonder how many black working class people get asked that by there work mates, And I wonder how much attention they would get from there boss, and what kind of pay out?
Race card played well

[jno]

she complained long ago; just not to you.

[Islay]

Peawalker - if you are going to throw around those types of accusations you could at least spell 'their' correctly - it may give you a bit more kudous!!!

[Peakwalker]

still playing the race card tho

[Islay]

If you say so!

[ummmm]

She's right to complain.

[albaqwerty]

Heard on the news this morning that her claim had been dismissed but she never mentioned the Ebola comment in her original complaint.
Which was a completely daft thing to omit imo.

[Peakwalker]

well spotted
now what stops seeing the truth

[Peakwalker]

you

[jno]

wouldn't have made any difference, alba: they gave their verdict before they'd interviewed all the witnesses, which is a slightly unusual way of pursuing justice..

[Peter Pedant]

since both a nurse and a doctor were disciplined ( NMC and GMC) for doing exactly that
I dont think even I would joke about it
( both suspended for a month)

( I also dont do ISIS jokes with the people I speak arabic to) perhaps I should start

dead baby jokes - really only to pensioner men .....

And here I suspect is the underlying reason for all of this:

Firstly there is clearly a clash of personalities "She first made her bullying complaint in May 2016" which failed so what next?

Add to that ix:

Miss Aluko is also a sport and entertainment lawyer, previously juggling her legal career with the game before committing to football full-time two years ago.

I saw this woman on the news last night (I had the sound muted as I do for most of the news as it's mainly not news at all but rubbish). I particularly liked the way she shed a tear or two and gently wiped them away at critical moments. She is supposed to be (so I am told) an international footballer. I hope she doesn't get tackled too fiercely in her next match.

[Peakwalker]

see the bit about the £80,000 settlement. Islay

Did you mean 'kudos', Islay?

[Peter Pedant]

// I wonder how many black working class people get asked that by there work mates,//

none I hope - if it were done in my hearing, I would say - "dont say that unless you have written consent"
or perhaps a more polite " you must not say that .... "

and if there were any further issing around follow up with: do you want a job tomorrow because you are behaving as tho the answer is 'no' or 'it doesnt matter'
